Convert stable text to a standalone snippet

st_to_standalone(
  text,
  stem,
  dir,
  font = c("helvetica", "roboto", "utopia"),
  command = "latex",
  textwidth = 6.5,
  border = "0.2cm 1cm",
  ntex = 1,
  ltversion = getOption("pmtables.image.ltversion", 4.13)
)

Arguments

text: character vector of table text.
stem: used to build intermediate and output file names.
dir: directory for building the pdf file.
font: the font to use; alternative values include roboto and utopia; passed to st_to_standalone().
command: pass pdflatex when building a pdf file or latex when building png.
textwidth: the page width (in inches) when building with pdflatex; passed to st_to_standalone(); see details.
border: passed as an option to standalone latex output type; see details.
ntex: Deprecated. This argument no longer has an effect. Underneath, latexmk is used to run the underlying command (e.g., pdflatex) as many times as required.
ltversion: numeric version number for the longtable package; newer versions have an issue that will break this code for longtables; so we are requiring an older version at this point.
